This log cabin blanket was inspired by a quilt we saw online that, at first glance, looked like a random patchwork; however, on closer inspection, it showed itself to be an unconventional setting of an old quilt block called “ninepatch.”

How do you knit a ninepatch? There are at least two ways and probably many more. We used log cabin as the basic construction tool, but also sprinkled mitered squares into the corners, to add texture and fun.

How closely does our Ninepatch Blanket resemble the original we loved? Not very! It’s a new thing, based on an old thing. It’s the essence of the log cabin enterprise.
